The Human {Editing}

Chapter 24

Victoria's pov

"Time for what? " I groaned as I opened my eyes to see Ashley.

She was in a white dress that had a zipper all the way down the middle, and a golden stole around her neck, much like the ones graduates wear.

"My induction sleepy head. Come on everyone's waiting okay?"

"Okay" I mumbled woth a stretch. I changed for the fourth time today, keeping it casual since that's what the dress code seemed to be.

Checking the time, I saw that it was almost twelve, so I ran my hand over my bed hair to make it presentable before quickly making my way downstairs to meet everyone.

I was immediately met with the seriousness in the room. They all stood so tall and spoke so professionally amongst themselves that I barely even recognized the group. That was when I truly knew this was important, since nobody except Ty and Luka were ever so serious.

I didn't miss how excited Ashley was though. I remember when I first met her; she said this was what she always wanted. And now she's finally getting it.

I made sure to stay far from their discussion, so that I wasn't intruding. They were so caught up that they didn't even notice when I slipped into the kitchen to get a snack.

"Meow"

"Hey there pumpkin!" I cooed as I snatched up my little snow ball. "I haven't seen you all morning. Oh my gosh you're getting so fat and heavy" I gushed in my best baby voice as I snuggled her closer to me, dropping a kiss on her head.

"When am I ever gonna get that much love?" I whipped my head around at the voice behind me, immediately meeting big gray eyes. 

"When you stop teasing me every second we kiss" I scolded, at which he gave me his cutest pout.

"Come on. It's not my fault we always kiss at the wrong time" He dragged as he snatched my waist to his, making me immediately drop Twinkle and she sauntered away.

He gently placed a kiss on my lips, lingering for a moment before he started moving them along with mine in a slow, soothing manner. It was soft and sweet, different from our other kisses.

"Woah I'm sorry if it's a bad time, but we're kinda ready" Lincoln informed as he peeped inside the kitchen. Luka gave me a look as if saying, 'see' and we both laughed at our inside joke.

We went to the pack house to the same backyard area that the barbecues were held. Luka mentioned that everyone in the pack, including the elders and children who didn't attend the barbecues were going to be there.

I felt kinda nervous when I noticed no one was rubbing their scents on me like usual, but Luka said it wasn't necessary anymore.

I didn't know what that meant, but I knew my heart was beating ten miles per hour when I noticed that there were at least 400 wolves in the pack, or maybe more.

Luka held my hand reassuringly as we walked to the side of the make-shift stage where we could see everything, but I didn't necessarily know why I was up there with them.

Ty, Caleb, Lincoln and Emma were on the stage too, but that was understandable, they are practically the 'Royal Family'. Ashley and two other wolves stood side by side in similar attire, so I assumed they are joining the pack too.
